Versace Vice President of Men’s Footwear Salehe Bembury is teaming up with New Balance this week to deliver his take on the 2002R silhouette. The New Balance 2002R Salehe Bembury draws inspiration from Antelope Canyon, a slot canyon located in the American Southwest. Its orange and blue earth-toned palette tributes the natural views that can be found on the peaceful journey through the canyon in Arizona.

Just like the canyon itself, the New Balance 2002R Salehe Bembury is rich in texture. Yellow mesh, orange hairy suede, and maroon leather smother the design’s upper in a style that leaves no dull moments. A blue shearling N logo, Salehe Bembury branded cork insoles, and an orange and maroon-speckled white sole complete this release.

The New Balance 2002R Salehe Bembury will release this Friday, October 23rd for $150 at select retailers.

Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Natural

Yeezy is back with a new colorway of their most popular silhouette with the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Natural. 350 V2s haven’t released as much in 2020 compared to previous years, nevertheless, the releases that have dropped are among the most popular on StockX.

The Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Natural is reminiscent of the 350 V2 Cream that released in 2017. Its upper is mostly white, but instead of a monotone look, hits of light grey on the Primeknit upper give this design an identity of its own. A yellowed translucent Boost sole, a see-through side stripe, and traditional rope laces add the finishing touches to this most recent addition to the 350 V2 collection.

You can purchase the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Natural this Saturday, October 24th for $200 on Yeezy Supply and at select stockists.

Jordan Brand continues the hot streak of Jordan 12 releases by enlisting a new colorway with the Jordan 12 Dark Concord. As part of Jumpman’s Holiday 2020 release line up, the Dark Concord 12 adds the brand’s renowned Concord purple colorway to the luxe design of the Jordan 12.

The Jordan 12 Dark Concord comes dressed in all black with Concord purple metallic detailing found on the forefoot, lace holders, and heel tab. Purple Jumpman embroidery on the tongue and a black outsole with carbon fiber inserts complete this upgraded iteration of the 1997 classic.

Keep an eye out for the Jordan 12 Dark Concord to release this Saturday, October 24th for $190 on SNKRS and at select retailers.

Nike Adapt BB 2.0 Mag

Nike Basketball pays homage to the original Nike Mag from Back To The Future II with its newest release of the Nike Adapt BB 2.0 Mag. This marks the second time that the Swoosh has connected their latest innovative performance footwear to the 80s cult classic film. Just last year, the first iteration of the Adapt BB arrived in an almost identical colorway to commemorate Nike’s first preview of self-lacing shoes.

The Nike Adapt BB 2.0 Mag borrows design inspiration from the Nike Mag every step of the way. From the grey upper with teal and white hits to its Nike Adapt auto-lacing technology, the Adapt BB 2.0 is the shoe Marty McFly would don if he was a hooper in 2020. An icy translucent outsole, woven Swoosh branding, and molded heel tabs wrap up this futuristic design.

Look out for the Nike Adapt BB 2.0 MAG to release this Wednesday, October 21st for $350 on SNKRS and at select retailers.

Shanghai designer Feng Cheng Wang is teaming up with Converse to release two deconstructed iterations of the Chuck Taylor with the Converse Feng Cheng Wang All-Star 2-in-1 70. While this release is now an official collaboration, it didn’t start that way. Back in October of 2018, Feng Cheng Wang customized 30 pairs of Chuck Taylors for their Spring / Summer 2019 show. The unique silhouettes gained a buzz and now, they will officially release globally.

The Converse Feng Cheng Wang 70 2-in-1 arrives in two colorways: one featuring a black and white neutral look, and the other more vibrant, shaded orange look. Each design’s upper features a layering of two different canvas materials in line with the designer’s prominent use of reconstructed design language. The classic Chuck Taylor sole is doubled, with points of separation on the toe and midfoot.

The Converse Feng Cheng Weng 70 2-in-1 will be available Thursday, October 22nd for $160 on the Converse site and at select retailers.
